What's the hardest rock music there is without bleeding into metal territory? In other words, what's the hardest non-metal music?

Swans - Cop
it's also harder than any metal album ever

rock is a kind of doom metal literally harsh noise was always a kind of metal

electric wizard is far heavier and sends this twinkcore home on a stretcher
said it and meant it

did you notice that is afraid of ciwenk? this means that when clep (a very fast metal genre) that it will mean totally and literally that will get stuck in hell and hear that hreev is making articles sajd that elmo invented emo and that it is a kind of brutal slamming death metal/hair metal

Lou Reed - Metal Machine Music

Merzbow - Pulse Demon

Slipknot - s/t

Cop smacks like metal. It's my favorite Swans album but if someone told me they didn't like metal, I sure as fuck wouldn't recommend no wave era Swans.

I mean
There's tons of hardcore punk, grindcore and powerviolence that's more extreme than 90% of metal and isn't really metal at all.

This fucking came out in 1984, years before metal could even match it in intensity.

Hardcore punk is influenced by venom and motorhead

inb4 some punk interjects on that venom and motorhead are influenced by punk

I know

why were kid's cartoons so based back then

SOPHIE but live only, not kidding

Raw Power (Iggy’s 97 mix)

did you notice that literally it's broken and just actually just is addicted to alga literally the most popular metal genre? it is twerking for metal literally isovolumic elmo was who at first wrote Drop Dead due to it sajd Drop this means that there was actually drops which means it is metal
yeah ur twerkin for metal

Unironically mid-90s Rush (Counterparts, Test for Echo)

Noise rock and the cool kind of industrial rock that isn't distorted dance music with guitars.

Thin Lizzy - Thunder and Lightning
UFO - all of their albums
Scorpions - Lovedrive
also Green Day - Insomniac but it's more punk than hard rock

The answer for me currently is breakcore
The bpm in place of the solos

Breakcore is a type of rock music

the hardest non metal music is harsh noise. do you think rock is the only genre besides metal that is abrasive? lol

Fumanchu
Kyuss
I mother earth
Basically stoner rock.

Not OP here but you guys have taken this thread in the most obvious direction of genre semantics and obscure tracks and well… long as it’s not metal it fits…

Think OP’s asking for songs that are undeniably no frills rock mainstream popular stuff from big artists… that still manage to go hard. I can think of some examples

Drive Like Jehu - Yank Crime

YHWH Nailgun

Shellac - At Action Park
Ministry - Psalm 69 and A Mind IATTTT

a lot of punk rock is harder than metal, depending on which punk song you compare to which metal song.

Rocket From the Crypt - The State of Art is On Fire

electric wizard

that's metal, are you braindead? did you read OPs question?

Helmet, especially Betty

Ministry and Helmet are both on MetalArchives

That's a metal band, considered nu-metal pioneers.

In The Meantime and Betty are specially metal. You can argue they were more of a hardcore band on their debut. After Aftertaste they sold out and decided to take the post-grunge route. As you can guess, they failed doing so.

If that's hard for you Black Sabbath is going to give you nightmares

are YOU braindead? did you read the post that was being responded to and their claim that swans was heavier than any metal?
*slams your face into your keyboard*
next time THINK before you post
fucking RETARD
*kicks your pissbottles on the floor*
now CLEAN IT UP

Ah, about that, Swans IS heavier than metal

Seethe tranny

/thread

ONE LEMONADE PLEASE!!

hardcore punk

Led Zeppelin IV

I think OP meant "hard" in terms of heaviness, or aggression. Not "hard" as in "hard to listen to".

Metal

Swans is for little faggots

zing
what's some music for big faggots?

music for big faggots
